Responsibility

Business and Society: Stakeholders, Ethics, Public Policy

Anne T. Lawrence, James Weber

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2007

The Leader in Corporate Social Performance
The book is very pricy compared to Jim Collins books. However, for a college textbook it is an average price. As for what is inside the book, there is nothing average about it. The first edition of this book was published in in the 1960's by Prof's Keith Davis and ...

Living Like Ed: A Guide to the Eco-Friendly Life

Ed Jr Begley

Clarkson Potter, 2008

What I like best about this book.
"Living Like Ed" contains product information and company names. I am trying to figure out how to run an air conditioner without paying the electric company. I think a wind turbine and a dc to ac converter will do the trick better than solar panels because the wind ...

Creating a World Without Poverty: Social Business and the Future of Capitalism

Muhammad Yunus

PublicAffairs, 2008

Social Business, a concept that can save this world
When I bought this book, my expectations were primarily to get a deeper insight into micro credit, since Prof Yunus is best known for this powerful means for empowering the poor to free themselves from the shackles of poverty. However, from the first chapter itself, it ...

Torts and Compensation: Personal Accountability and Social Responsibility for Injury (American Casebook ...

Dan B. Dobbs, Paul T. Hayden

West Group Publishing, 2005

The typos kind of annoy, but the book is informative
Like many students in law school I had to read this book for my Torts class. Our professor did an excellent job with a fairly mediocre book by explaining the concepts and cases at length (and thus eliminating the need for me to go and buy supplemental materials). ...

QBQ! The Question Behind the Question: Practicing Personal Accountability in Work and in Life

John G. Miller

Putnam Publishing Group, 2004

Brief, direct and to the point...
The author keeps it brief and direct, but he hits the nail on the head. Time to quit pointing the finger at everyone else and get to work. If I owned my own company, I would make this mandatory reading for all my employees.

Regulation Of Lawyers: Problems Of Law And Ethics (Casebook) (Casebook)

Stephen Gillers

Aspen Publishers, Inc., 2005

A very comprehensive, easy to understand ethics text
I think the other reviewer, who gave this text one star, must not have invested sufficient time in understanding the material. The Gillers text is very comprehensive in its treatment, which is a STRENGTH. It is the nature of ethics that even well-chosen ethics cases ...

The Secret Between Us

Barbara Delinsky

Doubleday, 2008

Thoughts on Book
This is the first book I have read by Barbara Delinsky and I must say that I am very impressed. This is a great book that has kept my interest. I have already ordered another book by her and can't wait to start reading it. I would highly recommend this author.

Paul Hawken

Collins Business, 1994

Get it now, no need to think twice
I'm pretty sure that after you've read this book, you'll feel the way I do: that this in the one book that everyone in the world should read. If there is a more eye-opening book on the same topic than this one out there, I have yet to read it, but it doesn't matter. ...

Cool It: The Skeptical Environmentalist's Guide to Global Warming

Bjørn Lomborg

Knopf, 2007

Excellent Book
This book is very well thought out and documented. I totally enjoyed it...especially the fact that global warming will actually result in a net saving of lives rather than loss. Also, I enjoyed the practical economic solutions such as not encouraging building near ...
